West utilized Kardashian’s help in promoting his Yeezy fashion brand, often styling his wife in the season’s hottest looks and ensuring the press got plenty of photographs.
According to People Magazine, she credited West with helping her come into her own as a fashion icon. “Kanye’s definitely inspired me to be a little bit more of an individual. I think my style is just evolving and changing and I think it should,” Kardashian said.
